Price Template

A price template allows you to set a fixed local price in each country where your app is sold and can be applied to one or more in-app items of an app. This allows you to set the same local price for different in-app items without having to manually update the local prices for each in-app item. This also means the prices of in-app items are not tied to the daily exchange rate of when the in-app item is registered.

When registering an in-app item, you set a standard price for it in U.S. dollars. This standard price and the daily exchange rate are used to generate local prices that can be automatically applied to each country where your app is sold (the daily exchange rate used is KEB Hana Bank's exchange rate from the previous business day).

If you register in-app items with the same standard price on different days, the calculated price for one or more countries may be different from the price of a previously registered in-app item because the daily exchange rate has changed. If you want the prices of these in-app items to be the same in the same country, you must manually update that country's price for each of the in-app items. Or, if you register in-app items with the same standard price on the same day but adjust a country's local price, you must manually update that country's price for each of the in-app items.

Two features allow you to quickly and easily update local prices so that prices are consistent for all your in-app items in a single app. One feature is to update the exchange rate, which allows you to reset the local prices based on the current exchange rate. Use this feature if you want to use only the calculated local prices in each country. The other feature, the price template (described on this page), allows you to set local prices in a template and then apply the template to one or more of your in-app items.

This page describes how to manage a price template:

• Create a price template
• Modify a price template
• Delete a price template
• Connect a price template to an in-app item
• Disconnect a price template from an in-app item

Create a price template

When you create a price template, you set a standard price in U.S. dollars. You then apply a price to each country based on this standard price and the current daily exchange rate. You can choose to:

• Use the applied price for each country

• Set the local price for one or more countries

After you have created the price template with your desired local prices, you can use it to set the same standard and local prices for any of your in-app items. For example, if you apply a standard price of US$1 to the in-app item, you can adjust the local price in Germany and Spain to be €1 in a price template. Then, you can apply this price template to as many in-app items of the app as you wish.

To create a price template:

1. There are two ways to start creating a price template:

   • From the In App Purchase tab of a selected app, click Price Template
   
   • When you are adding an in-app item from the Add Item window, in the Price section, select Add New Template.
   

2. Click Add New Template.

3. From the Add Price Template window, enter the following:
   
   

   Field	Description
   Standard Price	Required. The price, in U.S. dollars, on which local prices are based. After entering the price, click Apply to generate local prices.
   Template Name	Required. The name of the template.
   Search Item	Click on Search for items to display a list of in-app items within the app. Select one or more in-app items to which to apply this template. The in-app items to which the template is applied are displayed in the Selected Items area.
   Price by each country	Initially displays the calculated local price based on the standard price and daily exchange rate. You can manually enter the price for individual countries. The price must be at or above the minimum payment amount of a country/region. If you set the price below the minimum payment amount, Seller Portal automatically changes the price to the minimum payment amount.

4. Click Save.

Modify a price template

You can modify the standard price, template name, in-app items to which the template is applied, and the local country prices.

1. From the In App Purchase tab of a selected app, click Price Template.

   

2. Update the price template.

   NoteIf you update the standard price or local country price, these updated prices are applied to all apps and in-app items connected to this price template.
   
   Clicking Update Exchange Rate updates all local prices for all countries based on the daily exchange rate, including prices that were updated manually. See Update Exchange Rate for more information.

3. Click Save.

Delete a price template

You can delete a price template at any time, even if it is connected to an in-app item.

If you delete a price template connected to one or more in-app items, the titles of the connected in-app items are displayed in the pop-up confirmation window.

When you delete a price template connected to one or more in-app items, the prices for the connected in-app items are initially based on the values from the deleted template. If you want to change the prices, you must manually adjust them by updating the in-app item.

1. From the In App Purchase tab of a selected app, click Price Template.

   

2. Click the garbage can icon to the right of the price template you want to delete.

Connect a price template and an in-app item
